Дурьодхана
तथैव भीमसेनेन लोकः संवदते भृशम् ॥
कथं द्रोणो जितः संख्ये धनुर्वेदस्य पारगः ॥
नाश एव तु मे नूनं मन्दभाग्यस्य संयुगे ॥
यत्र त्वां पुरुषव्याघ्रम् अतिक्रान्तास् त्रयो रथाः ॥
एवं गते तु कृत्ये ऽस्मिन् ब्रूहि यत् ते विवक्षितम् ॥
यद् गतं गतम् एवेह शेषं चिन्तय मानद ॥
यत् कृत्यं सिन्धुराजस्य प्राप्तकालम् अनन्तरम् ॥
तद् ब्रवीतु भवान् क्षिप्रं साधु तत् संविधीयताम् ॥
tathaiva bhīmasenena lokaḥ saṃvadate bhṛśam ||
kathaṃ droṇo jitaḥ saṃkhye dhanurvedasya pāragaḥ ||
nāśa eva tu me nūnaṃ mandabhāgyasya saṃyuge ||
yatra tvāṃ puruṣavyāghram atikrāntās trayo rathāḥ ||
evaṃ gate tu kṛtye 'smin brūhi yat te vivakṣitam ||
yad gataṃ gatam eveha śeṣaṃ cintaya mānada ||
yat kṛtyaṃ sindhurājasya prāptakālam anantaram ||
tad bravītu bhavān kṣipraṃ sādhu tat saṃvidhīyatām ||
"Likewise about Bhimasena the world talks intensely: how has Drona, who has reached the far limit in the science of the bow, been defeated in battle? Surely this is my ruin, ill-fated as I am, in the battle where three chariots passed through you, tiger among men. With the matter thus standing, say what you intend to say; what has passed has passed — think about what remains, O bestower of honor."

Duryodhana glimpses the truth: "nāśa eva me nūnam" — this is indeed my ruin. And yet he catches himself: "yad gataṃ gatam eva, śeṣaṃ cintaya" — what has passed has passed, think of what remains. It is telling that even in despair he turns to action. The verse teaches the wisdom of not clinging to what cannot be recovered: grieving over what is gone bears no fruit, and the sober mind, however bitter the moment, turns its thought to what can still be saved — even in an unjust cause.
